PROJECT MIND
The Conscious Conquest of Man & Matter
Through Accelerated Thought
by David S. Devor (T. Kun)

Summary of CHAPTER 9:
Certainty, Truth & the Compulsion to Share

... Truth is the food of our Being. [page 121]

...It is salvation in every possible form - but only to the extent we are able to recognize it. [page 121]

...To distracted consciousness it remains hidden. [page 121]

The price to be paid for certainty of vision is the compulsion, or cosmic obligation, to translate this vision into action, to invoke its benefits and confirm its validity in order to share it with others. [page 121]

... Eventually, a point of intensity may be reached sufficient to trigger the process of Accelerated Thought. [page 121]

... Because of the unprecedented degree of his individuation (the result of refinement and specialization that has been going on since Creation), Accelerated Thought is uniquely appropriate to modern, technological man. [page 122]

...Without Accelerated Thought to enable us to break out of our "cosmic egg," we risk suffocation under the weight of the multiplicity of material forms we have created, and the concomitant physical and psychological deprivations these induce. [page 122]

It is important to keep in mind that the objects now seeking integration within the subject's plasma-like consciousness belong to the world of hard physical reality. [page 122]

... Matter, on the other hand, belonging to the physical realm, commands respect, demands precise and rigorous accountability, and is most unforgiving. [page 122]

When a bridge can no longer hold our weight, there is no appeal and no mercy. We pay the consequences of our miscalculation in full, just as we are rewarded for our compliance with physical laws. [page 122]

... the fine, intimate, inner "material" of thought, feeling and sensation (of which representations of reality are made), which can fuel subjective consciousness, is more accessible to us for processing than is the foreign objective matter that constitutes the hard reality of the physical world. [pages 122-123]

... It is available, preferentially, precisely because it is inside us and thus, unlike entities on the outside, can be accessed from all sides and through the middle. [page 123]

.. Equally important is that as microcosms, we encompass (through our encoded essence) the full range of materiality existing in the cosmos. [page 123]

Unable to taste, feel or manifest consciousness, science's reductionist view of matter is condemned to repeated review as the secrets and substance of matter constantly recede under the probing scrutiny of ever more precise instruments and techniques. [page 123]

... the missing data will eventually be shown to pertain to yet-undiscovered cosmic and natural laws and levels of materiality. A holistic grasp of these laws and levels requires higher modes of consciousness. [page 123]

...only personally significant aspects of the construct are retained in consciousness. ... The rest are, in effect, discarded. These "discards" from consciousness are then filed in memory to be called up for use ... [pages 123-124]

The virtue of subjective consciousness, ... is that something of reality ... is actually integrated into consciousness. This raises the energy level and general efficiency of the mind in extracting meaning from the environment. [page 124]

Biblically speaking, Adam "knew" Eve in enormously more aspects than our modern understanding of knowledge or sex would lead us to believe. [page 124]

.. Attention enfeebled by distraction lacks the force to feed itself and grow. [page 124]

The requirements of life normally absorb our daily allotment of the energy of attention, rendering unlikely the efforts that might lead to Accelerated Thought. 124-125

It never occurs to us that what we are at any given moment - our Being - is determined by the quality of our attention and not, as we seem to believe, by all that information and programming. [page 125]

... We fail to grasp that, at our best, we are neither the seer nor the object seen - we are the seeing itself. [page 125]

...We are neither matter nor energy but a process integrating the two. [page 125]

... he is now sufficiently aware and confident to acknowledge fully and experience directly the material aspect of his nature and of the world. [page 125]

Matter and energy... are two sides of one coin. [page 125]

Having encountered an inner association or construct that we feel bears some similarity, we are free to speculate on the significance of this similarity. [pages 125-126]

In other words, we consider all the ways in which it relates to the rest of what we "know" about the world. [page 126]

Once we have refined and developed an hypothesis as far as we are able, we begin to subject it to empirical testing in the kind of laboratory relevant to the field of our enquiry. [page 126]

Anyone who has ever tried to formulate an original hypothesis or work out and execute an efficient experiment knows just how difficult and demanding this can be. Scientists must often resort to the sophisticated statistical manipulation of their data in order to claim "significance" for their findings. [page 126]

The light of the righteous shines brightly. (Psalms 13:9)

Our subject, now at the very threshold of Accelerated Thought, finds himself applying a new, revolutionary approach to the formulation and verification of hypotheses, for he has gained enhanced access to the essential source of truth within himself. [page 127]

There soon arises within him the first of many penetrating insights touching the constitution of physical reality. [page 127]

The wealth of correlation displayed is a function of the richness of the vision and its predictive potential. [page 127]

Looked at in another way, the subject is here shown to be revealing meanings that, for lack of insight, were never before seen in the light of their significance and, for that reason, resisted integration within consciousness until now. ... we are moving into the realm of objective consciousness. [page 129]
